safety in the FIeld

We strive to provide a safe and welcoming experience for all Tracy Aviary conservation volunteers. Please help us by following these guidelines:

• Respect individual identities, race, pronouns, religion, gender, ethnicity, age, marital status, sexual preference, abilities, and veteran status. If you ever feel uncomfortable in any interaction with another volunteer or Tracy Aviary staff member, please let us know as soon as possible. Any behavior construed as harassment will not be tolerated and may result in volunteer termination.

• Ensure you are prepared to spend time in the field. Wear appropriate shoes, clothes, and sun protection, and bring any water or snacks you need.

• Stay mindful of your surroundings and any potential dangers, including bicycles and joggers on the Jordan River trail, wildlife (including rattlesnakes, mountain lions, moose, or bears in City Creek Canyon, and skunks and deer at other sites), uneven ground and tripping hazards, etc. Notify Tracy Aviary staff members if any injuries occur.

• Do not join a training or survey if you have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or have developed any of the following symptoms: coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscle aches, sudden change or loss in smell or taste, fever.
